When updating the library automatically, it can assign specified Tags for the newly added tracks

The challenge I'm finding with this so far is that sometimes the new tracks might require different unique tags. From what I've seen, this feature forces you to select one tag that will be applied to all newly added tracks.

A preferable option would be, especially for us who use a folder based system to manage our music database, to make it so that a tag can be assigned to a folder location so that whatever new files are added to that folder are automatically assigned the relevant tag for it, and the same for all the other music files newly added to other music folders.

Scheduler: added a command to render playlist to a file (renderplaylist)

Would it be possible to share a tutorial showing how this can be done in practice. For example if you want to generate a playlist and immediately render it and have it saved to file in a specific location.

Or perhaps allow for multiple (separate) update library instances so that for each instance we may target a specific folder to which we can assign (a) default tag(s).

RB Beta locking up when it plays a Schedule voice track
I tried to upload DMP file but it was to big for the forum as you can see it locked up at this point halfway playing the mp3 intro it had done before Presumable radioboss_gaurd is not working? As it entirely lock up RB which has to be closed from the Task Manger in Windows 11.

Voice Tracking: default Intro and Outro values for tracks with no intro/outro set

This feature works great, and as intended. Which is so awesome. However, there may be a need to be able to include or exclude particular file types for this feature.

It is ideally best suited to apply to music tracks, but it appears that when a voice track comes after a jingle, commercial, news or sweeper, the default outro setting will apply to it too and the voicetrack will be triggered to play automatically. This is what is happening to me. I set my default outro to ten seconds, and now my voice tracks sometimes also play over commercials and sweepers instead of just over the end of a song.

I think the option to exclude file types for the default outro setting would solve this problem.

 

[madein80]

Hello,
Thank you for the ultimate beta license that allows me to explore the new features.
I am testing the remote voice tracking and notice that the issue of voice tracks not starting at the outro point is still present. Have you worked on this point?
Please refer to our previous conversation : https://www.djsoft.net/community/threads/voice-track-again.12142/#post-51343

 

[Radioman69]

Hello.
I get the error "Error while resizing the current track artwork". The artwork for the currently playing song is not created, but the artwork for the next song is.
Cheers

 

[djsoft]

I have a bug with this version when playing an autointro, the volume goes down at the end of the autointro and it doesn't go back up.
The song is with a low volume until the next one.

Does it happen with all the auto intros, or it's random?

Good morning, no settings have been changed. (Error while resizing the current track artwork)

Does the track has an artwork? If possible, please send one of those tracks to support@djsoft.net

Question - where is this setting located?

Settings, General, press "Advanced configuration" button, the settings are "Voice tracking - Bed fade in" (fade out).

No, in fact the command worked before as is.
run PlaylistGeneratorPro.exe "-preset=PAR" "-out=D:\PARA RADIO\Data Base Radio boss\PLAYLIST\PAR.m3u8"

Looks like there's a bug, will be fixed in the next update.

 

[patrick.de-bruyn]

Does it happen with all the auto intros, or it's random?

yes it happens with all of them

 

[djsoft]

Time Stretch not work in the demo version?

If you see "RadioBOSS Ultimate" in the title bar, then it will work. The speed change will not be applied in case it's not possible to achieve the needed resilt. For instance, you have configured min/max speed change to +-5%, and required speed change to make the music end at the hour end is 7% - it will do nothing in this case.

Here are the 3 situations:
There are more minutes than established for the block
There are more ads in the block than established
Both situations

OK, it will show the warning reason, thank you for the suggestion.

I set a Container Name in the ads scheduler settings, but I can't see that name anywhere...
Where is it shown?
It doesn't show up in the playlist
It doesn't appear in the logs ...

It's shown in the playlist, in the Track Title column.

Also Have noted when using shuffle if a voice scheduler even is placed into the active playlist on finishing the schedular even it plays the next song in the playlist not a shuffled one if its enabled, hope this helps.

This is by design, the scheduled events have priority over the shuffle playback order. Otherwise, scheduled events would not start.

 

[djsoft]

does that mean we have to pay to test this ultimate version wenn using our own Key?
And Anyone who contributed will get a significant discount, up to 100%, when the final version is released. would also only be for the advanced version
that doesn't really feel fair to me

To make it fair, we offer a 50% off discount for beta testers. After it's released, the discount will no longer be available.

Yes but it inserted intro via playlist but avoided it qith a re Q I was just was mentioning it in case you were not aware

Can you please post a screenshot to illustrate the problem?

I would like to have a function to locally mute the cartwall buttons individually without affecting the volume on the stream
Just like you can mute the microphone locally

Can you please provide a use case for it?

Patrick i think the silent vocals maybe this new settings Voice Tracking under cog. What is 'Voice track Margin'?

Voice Track margin controls when a voice track will end. Margin = 0 means it will end on the following track's Intro point, with a margin of 1 second, it will end 1 second before track's Intro.

 

[djsoft]

I am trying to turn voice tracking off as i think its done this. As none of the voices should go through DSP

For the voice tracks, you can create a file type and check "Do not apply DSP" option for it: https://manual.djsoft.net/radioboss/en/using_different_types_of_files.htm (also check the "Treat as a voice track" option).

I would like to know how voice track margin works. What does it do? Is it to determine how much time elapses until the next item plays? I've tried it. It's not working.

Voice Track margin controls when a voice track will end. Margin = 0 means it will end on the following track's Intro point, with a margin of 1 second, it will end 1 second before track's Intro.

The challenge I'm finding with this so far is that sometimes the new tracks might require different unique tags. From what I've seen, this feature forces you to select one tag that will be applied to all newly added tracks.

You can have multiple "makelibrary" commands, each processing its own folder, and assigning a different set of tags. It can add tracks to some temporary libraries, the point is that the tracks will be processed, and those changes (added tags, any processing done) will be saved for all libraries, playlists etc.

Would it be possible to share a tutorial showing how this can be done in practice. For example if you want to generate a playlist and immediately render it and have it saved to file in a specific location.

An updated user manual will be released in the next update, with details on those new features.

Its absolutly AutoIntro its getting messed with I have my Intros at the end of song

Can you please provide some details on this?

Or perhaps allow for multiple (separate) update library instances so that for each instance we may target a specific folder to which we can assign (a) default tag(s).

It is allowed. You can have as many processes as you need. It's a good idea to not run all of them at the same time though as they are pretty CPU and drive intensive.

Please wait for it (about 30-60 seconds) to show a "Frozen" error message, then send a bug report - it will be a small text file.

Thank you, we'll check what could be wrong there.

This feature works great, and as intended. Which is so awesome. However, there may be a need to be able to include or exclude particular file types for this feature.

Makes sense, thank you, an option will be added to exclude the file types.

I am testing the remote voice tracking and notice that the issue of voice tracks not starting at the outro point is still present. Have you worked on this point?

Voice tracks are positioned so they will end at the following track's Intro. Maybe in the future we'll add an option to start them at Outro point, but its not for this version, I'm sorry.

I get the error "Error while resizing the current track artwork". The artwork for the currently playing song is not created, but the artwork for the next song is.

Thank you, we'll check what could be wrong there.

 

[box26609]

Thank you. On second thought, since for most people the default outro is going to mostly be used for music tracks, probably better to be able to select the file types to include, rather than exclude. Since we are likely to exclude almost all other file types besides music anyway.

 

[xzsaimon16]

There is a bug, or I don't know if it should work like that. I set a color for the background of a "File Type" (dark blue color). But when reproduced it still has the same color. I have activated the option to mark the played files (with dark gray). This only happens with the background set by the user. Since the text does work as it should.

Yes, that's how it should work. I suggest an option to alternate between how it should be displayed

Hi again
When you run a Remote Ads Update, the container name does not go anywhere, if you do it Local, it works fine
